Capstone Project: Thesis Research Project
FDGR1-GC1900
Credit:
Philanthropy and Fundraising
After completing all coursework and upon approval of a proposal, each student is required to complete the capstone course, undertaking an original research paper on a subject relevant to his or her specialization in fundraising and philanthropy. This project will allow the student to synthesize the knowledge gained in previous coursework. While the student may address a subject previously explored by another scholar or practitioner, the thesis must offer original research and articulate original conclusions and thought processes that make a practical contribution to the existing body of knowledge in the field of Fundraising. All final papers must be of an academic and research standard that is consistent with the requirements of current journals and publications. In order to successfully complete the project, the student?s advisor, one other reader from either academe or industry, and the department must approve the thesis.
